I've probably written this before, but this is a story from my Dad. He had a JI Case garden tractor that needed a new hydraulic motor for the transaxle. (I was only 4 at the time in 1978 so I remember none of this.) Poniatowski Bros. Inc. was our local Case dealer and he went there for a motor. It was something like $379. He didn't want to pay that, but finding another source pre-internet was difficult. The company he worked for, Stobb, Inc., built paper handling machinery. He was friendly with the components purchaser, who told Dad if he could find manufacturer numbers on that motor, he could find one in his stack of catalogs. So that's what happened. Dad ended up paying 98.00 for a motor. Stobb bought from a distributor, who bought their inventory from the pump manufacturer. The OEM-sourced pump likely was sold by the manufacturer to a distributor, where it sat in inventory, who then sold it to Case, where it sat in inventory, who then sold it to Poniatowski Bros, where it sat in inventory, with a bunch more freight cost added in as it went from place to place.

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
